Weren't France a favorite?

With our absents, we are still a favorite. With Collet we are not.
With all our guys, we are, even with Collet :)

Again, turkey blanks on important freethrows in the last seconds. Like in 2018 against the USA, they missed 5 straight fts to finish the game.

Not exactly the greatest last shot for Osman. Surprised they didn't go to Korkmaz.

This is not a choke, this is suicide.

Nevertheless, a very good game if you are neutral. Let's see who wants it more

Both teams failed hard there at the end. But, I agree, it's a great game if you are a neutral fan :D

Epic choke by Turkey, but you know Ataman will be so pissed, they inbounded the ball, but due to clock error, they had to redo it, and this is the result. In theory, refs could just looked how much time ran out, and just ajusted the clock this way, it was like 0.4 second anyway. You are always in the disaadvantage if you need to redo inbound, opponents by then know your play.

Well he can't be moved because of 2013, 2014, and 2021.
But fortunaltely that you win 2013 with a great Parker, with NDC, Diaw, Batum etc...
2014: thanks Heurtel, Batum and Gobert.
2015: he didn't give the keys to NDC
2016: It was **** holidays
2017: pretty a shame
2019: we clearly had a better roster than this team USA, and semi-final was a shame
2021: well, a good fisrt game, but Italy and Slovenia were so close ...

2022: no comment!

Korkmaz brought Turkey to here, and commits the turnover to lose the game, what a tragic finish for him.

Wow both teams trying hard to tank that game, LMAO. Korkmaz lays an egg, adios.
